On pp.266-267 of
Jacob
& Mijnhardt (1992),
we learn that this Society from Leiden and the two societies from
Amsterdam and Rotterdam amalgamated in 1800 as the
Bataafsche Maatschappij van Taal- en Dichtkunde = Batavian Society
for Language and Literature.
We also learn that in 1806, the Society was renamed
Hollandsche Maatschappij van Fraaije Kunsten en Wetenschappen =
Holland Society for Liberal Arts and Sciences,
and in 1818 the society from The Hague joined
them.
